crumble

I think my heart has a special portion just dedicated to all things seasonal, maybe about 30% of it. I’d say more, but Harry Potter references do hold quite a stock in there too. A part of this is being that person that dedicates everything to welcoming the autumn season. This includes wearing boots, looking for pumpkins, and yes, baking. I will say that I won’t fall subject to being a pumpkin spice fanatic (the hype for that is TOO much!) but I’m all for apples, cinnamon, etc. I saw Karlie Kloss’s video that inspired me to give apple crisp a try, then post it here in a blog rather than its original video format. The resulting taste was definitely worth it and the hardest part of this recipe was just having to wait while it was in the oven. Have at it!

Ingredients

Filling –

Sliced & peeled apples — 4 cupsI used about three apples. Maybe four.

Lemon juice — 2 teaspoons

Maple Syrup — 1 tablespoon

Vanilla — 1 teaspoon

Ground nutmeg — 1/4 teaspoon

Ground cinnamon — 1/4 teaspoon

Topping –

Almond flour — 1/2 cup

Oats — 1/2 cupThe original recipe calls for them to be gluten-free. I don’t really care so I just used regular rolled oats

Ground nutmeg — 1 teaspoon

Maple syrup — 1 1/2 tablespoon

Coconut oil — 1/3 cupDon’t have the oil be in liquid form, but also not totally hard. In the middle is perfect.

The original recipe doesn’t list any type of sugar in the topping ingredients, but when replaying the video, it sounds like 1/3 cup of date sugar is added even though it’s not listed. I didn’t add it to my recipe, but I did lightly sprinkle regular sugar on top of the apple crisp before placing it in the oven.

Process

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place apples in small pan. I did barely spray olive oil in the pan beforehand in fear that the mixture would stick.

Add the rest of the filling ingredients (lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon) and toss around till it’s evenly spread over all the apples.

In another bowl, combine the topping ingredients except for the oil (flour, oats, nutmeg, cinnamon, and maple syrup) and mix. Add in oil afterward and mix evenly.

Place topping over apples.

Bake for about 35 minutes.

Enjoy! I was pleasantly surprised by this and from now on will definitely reach for crisp recipes rather than pie. Don’t hate me, but I’ve always been more of a cake girl rather than pie, though this is a happy alternative for me.
